Working Groups
The IPCC is organized as three working groups (WG) and a task force :
- WGI: Scientific aspects of climate (see IPCC TAR WG1 2001).
- WGII: Vulnerability, consequences, and options (see IPCC TAR WG2 2001).
- WGIII: Limitation and mitigation options (see IPCC TAR WG3 2001).
- Task Force: National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme
WG I covers the same areas as the Second Assessment Report (SAR) of 1995, but WG II & III cover slightly different areas in the TAR.

Famous quotes containing the words working and/or groups:
“thanks to my friends for their care in my breeding,
Who taught me betimes to love working and reading.””
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
